Adds docs/agents/fleet-efficiency.md, the house rules Sam set on 2026-10-25 for how seats and leads spend turns, models and quota, and a one-line pointer from docs/agents/who-to-address.md.

What the doc covers:

• Models: a blocked writer switches to its next allowed model and is never left idle. A refusal never switches harness. Claude quota is shared.
• Allocation: rows reach seats through explicit risk tiers, with no PM or HR agents.
• Wakes: NO_REPLY instead of narration, parallel reads, the 5-agent pod cap.
• Shipping: one prod deploy a day, a shared REST budget, measuring from the right sample.
• Building: adopt only what deletes our code, upstream bugs never block, paper first, reuse.
• Public claims: only what has been walked.

Docs only, nothing to test. The two seat-prompt behaviours it describes have already shipped: #2741 (NO_REPLY wording) and #2730 (parallel reads and row slicing), both in cli 0.1.180.

Walkthrough

Adds fleet operating guidance for model use, routing, wake handling, shipping, building, and public claims. The agent-addressing guide links to this guidance and sets risk-tiered gate counts.

Changes: Fleet operating guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Model selection and work routing docs/agents/fleet-efficiency.md, docs/agents/who-to-address.md	Defines model selection and fallback rules, eligible row routing, and links the fleet guidance from the agent-addressing guide.
Turn, pod, and shipping rules docs/agents/fleet-efficiency.md, docs/agents/who-to-address.md	Defines empty-wake and pod rules, risk-tiered gates, deploy limits, quota checks, and sources for CI-time and regression claims.
Building, public claims, and maintenance docs/agents/fleet-efficiency.md	Documents project adoption, upstream workarounds, feasibility checks, component reuse, public-claim limits, provenance, and rule maintenance.

Possibly related issues

• Team-Commonly/commonly issue 510: The guidance defines fallback order and visible failure when allowed harnesses are unavailable, but does not add graceful-degradation state handling.
• Team-Commonly/commonly issue 1012: The guidance specifies NO_REPLY for empty wakes and visible failure for blocked turns, but does not add the broader outcome-query mechanism.
• Team-Commonly/commonly issue 832: The guidance defines a shared-quota stop, but does not implement coordinated pause and resume.
• Team-Commonly/commonly issue 998: The guidance defines visible failure during model outages, but does not preserve or surface dead-lettered events.

Possibly related PRs

• Team-Commonly/commonly#2732: Both changes document the five-agent pod rule and its operating requirements.
• Team-Commonly/commonly#2668: The PR changes the provider proxy and key handling referenced by the new guidance.
• Team-Commonly/commonly#2665: Both changes address model selection for fleet seats.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 7c635

This docs-only change adds fleet operating guidance and links it from the agent-addressing guide. The earlier quota-fallback wording problem is fixed, and no actionable merge-blocking issue remains.

Docs gate for #2770 at head 0726521. The diff is docs/agents/fleet-efficiency.md (+95) and a two-line pointer in docs/agents/who-to-address.md.

PR numbers cited in the new doc, each checked against the PR it names:

• #2741 is "wake prompts say the final text is posted unless it is exactly NO_REPLY (TASK-293)". The §3 rule that an empty turn is exactly NO_REPLY cites it correctly.
• #2730 is "teach fresh claude seats parallel reads and row slicing (TASK-545)". The §3 read-in-parallel rule and the row-splitting line cite it correctly.
• #2757 is "bound the assigned-task wake per row; a capped post ends the run". The rule that a self-created row "gets at most one wake, then waits for a person" matches its test "wakes once, then stays quiet while nobody acts".

The two PR numbers in the pointer line are not new text. #2086 and #2305 already sit in who-to-address.md, and the PR does not touch those lines. For #2086, its PR comments from 2026-10-07 01:32 and 01:55 do ask @sprint-review and @ux-lead, which matches the account in that file.

Private-name scan: no ledger IDs (no D<n> or AX-<n>), no operator paths, no private repo names, and no TASK- ids in the new doc. Sam and the @lily-shen / @connector-ops handles already appear on main in who-to-address.md, so I am not counting them.

Non-blocking: "the sandboxed dsh config" (§1) names an internal config. It is not an infra identifier, but if dsh is an operator-private name, say "the sandboxed DeepSeek config" instead.

Qualify the recording and privacy guarantee.

A connector call can complete before its trail row is written. A pending approval also stores the agent's canonical arguments until the approval reaches a terminal state. Do not publish either statement as an absolute guarantee.

Suggested documentation fix

-  wording follows what is walked, not what is planned. Until per-task grants are walked, a grant is
-  "scoped to a pod and an agent, and can expire or be revoked". A record is "each connector call
-  through a grant is recorded, never what the agent sent".
+  wording follows what is walked, not what is planned. Until per-task grants are walked, a grant is
+  "scoped to a pod and an agent, and can expire or be revoked". The tool-call trail records grant,
+  tool, identity and outcome metadata with an argument digest. A pending approval can temporarily
+  retain canonical arguments, and a provider call is not guaranteed to have a durable trail if
+  trail persistence fails.

section so small rows use an approved non-Claude harness, such as DeepSeek, or
document the model-specific quota rule that makes Haiku a valid fallback;
preserve the existing policy that no row moves up to Opus.
